The Ancient Craft of Nålbinding
This ancient yarn technique was used by people across the world, from Egypt and Peru, to the Vikings in Scandinavia. It predates knitting and crochet, and has recently been considered an endangered heritage craft. 

The class will cover a short introduction to the craft and its history. Students will learn the Oslo stitch, and the class will work together on a small pouch. 

This is a beginner level class for adults. Knitting and/or crochet skills are not necessary, but can be helpful.
